Guests: Toronto Star Queen’s Park Bureau Chief Robert Benzie and Queen’s Park reporter Rob Ferguson

On Valentine’s Day, and then again on Family Day, the provincial leaders engaged in this Ontario campaign’s two debates. Rob and Rob from our Queen’s Park bureau recap why they may be the most substantial events of the campaign so far, allowing viewers to dig into many of the issues that define life in the province.

They also discuss whether they heard any “kill shots” or “knock-out punches” from the podiums — and what the best lines and most noteworthy exchanges were. And then they discuss what’s happened since: the polls, the fight between the Liberals and the NDP to poach each other’s voters, and Doug Ford’s preparations for a second trip out of the country during the campaign.

PLUS: The crudely confrontational challenge that Bonnie Crombie issued to Doug Ford on Wednesday
